The development story about hook and loop

Velcro is known in industry jargon as a child buckle. It is a kind of connecting accessories commonly used in luggage clothing. It has two sides, male and female: one side is soft fiber, the other is elastic fiber with hooks. Male and female buckle, in the case of a certain transverse force, the elastic hook is straightened, loosened from the velvet circle and opened, and then restored to the original hook, so repeated opening and closing up to 10,000 times.
Velcro was invented by a Swiss engineer, Georges de Mestaller (1907-1990). Returning from a hunting trip, he found pintail clinging to his clothes. When he looked under a microscope, he noticed that the fruit had a hook structure that adhered to the fabric, so he came up with the idea of using the hook to hold the wool in place.

In fact, this structure has already existed in the feathers of birds, and the normal feathers of birds are composed of feather axes and feathers. The pinnae is made up of many slender pinnae. On both sides of the pinnacles there are rows of pinnacles. Hooks are formed on one side of the twigs, and loops are formed on the other side to bind the adjacent twigs together, forming a solid and elastic pinnae to fan the air and protect the body. The twigs separated by external forces may be rehooked by the pecking comb of the bird’s beak. Birds often peck the oil secreted by the tail lipoid gland and apply it when pecking to keep the pinna intact in structure and function.

The width of Velcro is between 10mm and 150mm, and the commonly used specifications on the market are :12.5mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mmm, 75mm, 80mm, 100mm, 110mm, 115mm, 125mm, 135mm fifteen kinds. Other sizes are usually made to order.

Widely used in clothing factory, shoes and hats factory, luggage factory, sofa factory, curtain factory, toy factory, tent factory, glove factory, sports equipment factory, medical equipment factory, electronic plastic factory and all kinds of military products and other industries supporting, widely used in all walks of life around the world.
Velcro is closely related to scientific and technological products. With the changes of The Times, the application of Velcro has been favored by the electronic high-tech industry. Successively, Velcro related products have been developed and designed, and mass production has been put into use. All kinds of products with different design forms can be seen everywhere in electronic life.
